Joyce wants to recognize "the value of forward-thinking virtual library service and instruction. If I had my way, we’d formally recognize professionals who get it---who know how to identify and grab the tools now available for information and communication, who know how to use these emerging tools in ways that engage young people and promote learning and reading, in ways that model effective communication strategies for today's world. An award for those professionals who present themselves and their libraries in attractive, interactive, professional, and usable ways. "
Joyce opens the door of the of the Unquiet Library (also known as Creekview High School Media Center in Georgia), which features a dynamic blog, and lots of widgets--including Browse Inside invitations to Printz Award titles and the library's Del.icio.us bookmarks; an option to subscribe to library Twitter tweets or the feed to the library blog, scenes of library life via Flickr, other updated slide shows (stored on Slideshare) including the Georgia Peach Award for books tor teens, and a tag cloud index. ...
This is a school library which is wholeheartedly embracing web 2.0 opportunities - make a virtual visit and be inspired !
